Brian Roberts (Moonshot Program)

This switch-hitting second baseman has completely changed the position meta. He's a fast, powerful, and MLB The Show 25 Stubs patient hitter wwho ill love him. If you're grinding the Moonshot event, Roberts is the prize you want.

George Springer (Captain Series)

Springer offers elite right field production without the 300K+ price tag of Acuña or Byron Buxton. 95/90 contact and solid pop with above-average defense make him one of the most well-rounded and cost-efficient corner outfielders in the game.

Chase Utley (Keeper Series)

Utley remains a rock-solid second base option with above-average contact, power, and sa olid glove. If Roberts isn't your vibe, Utley brings a different style with slightly more consistent results defensively.

Bob Gibson (Boss Program)

The only other pitcher to make the list. Bob Gibson is him. Outlier four-seam and sinker combo with elite hits-per-9 and disgusting movement. If you're playing on Legend or GOAT, he's a borderline requirement in your rotation.

Manny Machado (Live Series Collection Reward)

Okay, this one's controversial. Yes, he's expensive. No, not everyone can afford him. But if you can, Manny is the best two-way third baseman in the game. Insane fielding, big power, clutch gene activated. He locks down the hot corner and mashes.

Final Thoughts

If you're looking to build a squad that can hang in Ranked, go 12-0 in BR, or grind out events with max efficiency, these are the cards to cheap MLB The Show 25 Stubs target. Prioritize free cards like Roberts and Domínguez first, and then build around studs like Springer, Piazza, and May.
